Speedy Copying with SOPM
The AR-5520/5516s Scan Once/Print Many (SOPM) function stores a

seconds saves valuable time when performing
multiple short-run jobs.
Electronic Sorting

Another timesaving function, RIP Once/Print Many (ROPM), saves print
data in the machines internal memory and
transfers it to output at a fast rate of 20 ppm for
the AR-5520 and 16 ppm for the AR-5516.
